Congrats to every of the applicants. We are looking forward to seeing you in our audition. Please read below how to prepare for the audition.

STYLING

Please prepare your best Summer styling, but not beach- or swimwear. Imagine going for a Summer Garden Party or vacations. Please read below about the following expectations we are having:

• Please show us your best summer styling. You’re not going to the beach or to swim, but imagine you are going to a Summer Garden Party or maybe on vacations, so we are expecting a full outfit, appropriate to be worn outdoors in the summer months. As it is an audition, you are free to style anything from casual to formal, whichever suits your personal style best. 
• Ideally your outfit would consist of bright and popping colors.
• Add accessories to support your outfit but do not overdo it, it’s not the Christmas tree season yet.
• Please do not hide your face with large hats or sunglasses. You can still use large hats and sunglasses, if you know how to take these off during your presentation.

POSES

Please do not worry, if you do not have experience with runway posing yet. We are offering a workshop and feedback to teach you about it.

• Please prepare a set with runway poses and a walking animation. The pose set should be good for a 40 to 60 seconds lasting performance.
• Your poses and walk are secondary for this audition.

VPC / COMMUNICATION

You are required to acquire and use a VPC-HUD. The VPC-HUD gets used during all rehearsals, auditions, challenges and other events by MISS SL Organization. Please see the link below to buy the VPC-HUD from the Second Life marketplace:
